Herbert Grönemeyer
Because of You
Across my heart
There is a memory
Even in the dark
It is blinding me
There's nothing I can feel
And it's so unreal
Because of you
When the dragonflies
Bring the summer strong
And with all its light
Makes my heart so raw
It's a lost affair
Now that you're not there
Because of you
All the small talk hurts
And the voices drown
My thoughts in empty words
They just kick me down
And I miss your face
Life's lost all its grace
Because of you
Because of you
Life is just an empty space
I lie awake at night
No rescue in sight
I should call for help
But all the lines are dead
Loving words you said
Are running through my head
Bittersweet souvenirs
Are all that's left
No other eyes shine
So pure and bright
And without a smile
It all fades to white
Now the telephone
Leaves me on my own
Because of you
Because of you
All the dreams
Have overflown
All is said And gone
Because of you
Across my heart
There is a memory
Even in the dark
It is blinding me
And the flame you freed
Is always with me
Because of you
Because of you
And the tender flame you free
Is always with me
Because of you
